The role of free volume, hydrogen bonds, and crosslinks on physical aging in polymers of intrinsic microporosity (PIMs)

Abstract

Physical aging rates strongly correlate with the initial free volume of microporous polymers. Introducing hydrogen bonds and crosslinks can reduce the initial free volume and significantly impact gas separation selectivity over time.
